Frank Davies’ Comment

Mr Frank Davies while on the programme told Mr Amaliba to learn from history after the latter indicated that in the 2013 election petition, the petitioner’s request for the interrogatories were granted by the Supreme Court and do not understand why same was not accorded the petitioners in the 2020 election petition.

“And Mr Abraham Amaliba in 2013, the application for interrogatories filed by the petitioners was dismissed. Learn from history and go and read the report”.
